Musical Theatre Update


Jay Kuo’s musical Insignificant Others was just awarded the Bay Area Critics Circle Award for best original script of a new musical! This is an exciting honor for this show that we’re going to be opening at the Zeum Theatre in Yerba Buena in mid-July. We have a great cast and will be starting rehearsals before you know it in June.
Check out the website for this world premiere musical production.


In the meantime, rehearsals for Jekyll & Hyde at Palo Alto Players continue to be fun and exciting. This is a really big show and we’re doing some fun and exciting things with it. This production opens at the end of April. Don’t miss it.
This is the Palo Alto Players website.


Another exciting project is Songs For A New World a revue of truly marvelous songs by genius songwriter Jason Robert Brown. His music is complex and beautiful. The lyrics are deep, moving, funny and thought provoking. Four talented singing actors will be performing this show for Ray Of Light Theatre Company at the Eureka Theatre in downtown San Francisco starting May 11th.
Ray Of Light Theatre is presenting a concert version of The Secret Garden this month before we start work on Songs For A New World.

I’m excited to be directing all three of these theatrical projects for 3 different companies! It is quite a busy spring. I hope everyone gets to see these shows between April and August of this year.
